For whatever reason it was better than most shots but still lacked the grading, textures and general feel of a high end feature. The camera work is good but I would guess it's in the post. this is my fear with most of these cameras is they always look like video.

This is a well produced, high energy action piece with great audio. In my opinion, its main shortcoming is the proper use of focus / rack focus. There are several places in which the subject is out of focus (e.g. the shot starting at 1:28 is completely out of focus, same at 1:41), as well as situations where rack focus would have been more powerful to convey the action (e.g. at 0:43 and 0:57 new opponents are introduced out of focus). Also I have the feeling the blacks are crushed a bit too much, reducing detail, but this could well be an artistic choice or the effect of YouTube compression.

I think the main thing holding it back from acceptance is the lack of professional sound acquisition. Most indie shooters of the digital age aren't set up to comfortably shoot double system sound. For those who haven't done it before, the idea of having to post-sync scares the hell out of them, or at the very least the extra steps of slates and jamming/slaving timecode are a deal breaker. I love this new development, but after the RED/EX-3 generation of camcorders, I think you'll see the prosumer video market adopt 35mm DoF and lens support (without an adapter) before the 35mm DSLR market is widely adopted for professional video. And then, of course, they'll converge and ten years from now (less?) there won't be a difference between a video camera and a digital still camera, except at the highest of professional price points. -Jeff Koenig CEO broadcastassassin.com twitter.com/brdcastassassin No doubt the Mark II takes a great image, and the Redrock DSLR package (which they apparently used) is gorgeous.
